I'm not sure this isn't a problem on Google's end. My calendars had been syncing fine, and as of last weekend, the second calendar for me doesn't sync correctly either.
I have the same problem. All my outlook appointments show up on my google calendar but for whatever reason nothing is being pushed to the phone calendar. I've made the 'phone calendar' in the options not visible and disabled the calendar for a second google account (all suggestions I read elsewhere) but still nothing. Would love to find a fix for this.
It's weird - all my appts from my Outlook calendar show up on my web Google Calendar. Recurring appts that were added to my Outlook or Google calendar when I had a Droid 2 have been pushed to my Droid 3 calendar, but anything added after I got the D3 do not show up on the D3 calendar.
That make sense?
EDIT: To add to the goofiness, I just added an event directly to my Google Calendar. It showed up on the phone calendar. Only events added through Outlook aren't being pushed to my phone. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere in Outlook or Google Calendar?
Whenever I've had to do a factory re-set to my phone, I lose all historical calendar data (over 1 month old). (Droid). I spent about 2 hours in the Verizon Store and they had no clue..it was only after about 6 hours on the phone with 3 different Tech Support persons - that I was told the loss of my calendar was a result of the factory re-set. Real bummer - since I rely upon/& need access to older calendar events regularly on my phone!
This happened long ago on my OG Droid. You can try this solution that worked 'back in the day':
goto settings > apps > manages apps > all > calendar storage > clear data
NOTE if you delete the data, it will erase the phones calendar data and have to resync all the calendar events, and note that you will lose any OLD data (like more than a month, as it will only sync more recent calendar items)
I haven't tried it, but have you looked at http://www.appbrain.com/app/ical-import-export/at.aichbauer.ical - I wonder if you downloaded (from Google Calendar desktop) the ical feed (which contains all the historical data) and used the linked app to import it whether you'd get all the historical data onto the Droid.
I also wonder what that might do to the sync'd data - would there be dupes?
Worked for me. Awesome! Thanks!
My calendar in gmail WAS syncing to my phone, but suddenly it's not. I added things in iCal (I have a Mac) to my gmail calendar, and I checked it in Google. It's all there! But it won't go to my phone. I never had to do anything EXTRA to make it work, but maybe now I need to? Confused!
I read a bunch of posts, and the solutions seemed horribly complicated, so I went back to my phone and somehow found (my phone's new, so I don't know a lot about it) an item called "Accounts and Sync Settings" - and there it was! 
The AUTO-SYNC item was NOT checked. So I checked it, chose to "MANAGE my gmail account" and noticed that the calendar was not checked even though the other contacts were. SO... Start with Settings, then Accounts and Sync, and maybe you will have some luck too! My calendar online was fine, just not syncing with the phone. I'm now a very happy android user. . .
